ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
Students are presented a series of pictures showing rubbish that has been washed up on
beaches and shown a short documentary about the most bizarre things that have been found on
beaches. This should initiate a debate about the amount of rubbish that ends up in the ocean and on
the beaches every year and the impact it has on marine life. Following the discussion, students read
a short text about Julie Church and her idea to turn old flip flops found in the ocean and on the
beaches into works of art (everything up to this point was covered in the lesson preceding the
project). Students then go online, visit Julie‟s company website www.ocean-sole.com and do a
research on the history and philosophy of the company and the products it offers. Based on their
research, students (in small groups) create a flyer/catalogue presenting Julie‟s project and the
products her company sells. Students can choose to create a paper flyer/catalogue or a digital one
using PowerPoint, etc. Once finished, the groups swap their fliers/catalogues and complete the two
stars (= two positive comments about the flyer/catalogue) and a wish (= one comment on an area
which needs improvement) sheet to provide feedback on their classmates‟ work.
